Although Sandra Bullock (pictured) came back for a second bite of the cherry, the film’s other star, Keanu Reeves, didn’t sign up.

Jason Patric took the reins instead and the sequel was given a much bigger budget than its predecessor.

But instead of the speeding buses and underground trains of the first, Speed 2 took place on… a slow-moving boat.

The slightly less exhilarating setting might have contributed to its eight Golden Raspberry nominations (it won in the worst remake or sequel category).

The Jaws sequels

Jaws 2’s “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water” was one of the most memorable straplines in movie history.

Unfortunately, it also wasn’t safe for fans of the first film to go back in the cinema.

While the original holds a 97% rating on reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the follow-up has a much lower 52%.

Its strapline turned out to be the most memorable thing about it – and has far outlived the film itself.

To be fair though, Jaws 2 performed well at the box office and wasn’t as bad as what followed.

1983’s Jaws 3-D and Jaws: The Revenge, which followed in 1987, were the franchise’s real disasterpieces.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2

In 1999, The Blair Witch Project went viral long before going viral was even a thing.

The horror film used the internet to build a back story for the movie, posting fake police reports and fictional news articles about the Blair Witch, leaving many confused about whether the film was real or fictional.

The campaign succeeded in building huge levels of hype around the movie, which was a box office phenomenon.

You can guess what’s coming next.

Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 abandoned the shaky first-person camera work in favour of becoming a more conventional horror film. It made a profit, but took about $200m (161m) less than its predecessor.

Its threequel, 2016’s Blair Witch, made even less money, but again it made a profit – which is more than a lot of films can say at the moment.
